Being Concerned About Security Now A Security Risk Itself? Posted by Pile (6268 views) [E-Mail link] The second in command at the Pentagon said Thursday that people who publicly oppose allowing a Middle Eastern company to take over management of some U.S. ports could be threatening national security. No word yet on what's the exact flavor of the Kool-Aid these people are handing out. My guess is "tutti-fruitti." Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England told the Senate Armed Services Committee that blocking the deal could ostracize one of the United States' few Arab allies. "The terrorists want our nation to become distrustful," England said. "They want us to become paranoid and isolationist, and my view is we cannot allow this to happen. It needs to be just the opposite." The comments came as administration officials went before the committee to defend their approval of a deal by which DPWorld, which is controlled by the government of the United Arab Emirates, would take over British-based P&O. The transaction reportedly is worth $6.8 billion. Details   1 Article displayed.
